The room was filled with serious workers except for the unusual pair. A wacky red-haired woman with a black ribbon tied at the back and a diligent worker who still sucks lollipops like a kid.

Stacks of signed paper and organized office supplies were beside her. That red-haired woman is Izuna. However, her seemingly real pitch-black horns is far astonishing than her wicked eyes.

Izuna wiped the sweat on her face with her black handkerchief. There’s a little design embroidered—Eight seconds have been passed. She then bends forward on her desk.

“When you’ve work so hard, you even forget your own name. Give me a break!”

She barely could reach the power button and her empty mug fell. Its aroma has a hint of seaweed and faintly sweet scent.

“No, I can’t do this anymore… I need my theme song!”

Izuna’s eyes couldn’t take it anymore. Before she fell asleep, she turned off her computer.

Izuna’s coworker heard the sound of the computer shutting down. She then slid her chair towards Izuna. She then frantically looked at Izuna’s computer. She only finished inputting half of the data.

“Hey, Izuna senpai! You must be kidding? Don’t fall asleep when—"

Izuna’s co-worker kept shaking her but she’s already fast-asleep.

“Ahh!!! Bring it on! I can do this!”

Izuna remembered a memory from the past.

Huge intricate flying architectures are floating with harmony. A place as if it was a paradise built out of nowhere. Blue lights emanate from small flying creatures filled the place.

This is Izuna when she was young. Her smooth and charming small horns is such a teaser that makes you to play with it.

Izuna’s mother caressed her daughter’s horns. Unlike her, she had long horn that almost reaches the floor and its filled with dents and scratches.

“Mother, why would I go all the way to that filthy human world?”

A light sea breeze blew. The murky waters before became a huge reflection of the skies.

“I found him finally.”

Izuna’s mother fixed her hair. You can truly see her vivid similarities with her daughter. However, she’s more proper because of her hair tied in complex yet decorative manner.

“Finally? Ah? The guy with tremendous amount of mana.”

Little Izuna jumps to the flowerbed of those flying creatures. It was soft similar to lying on a grass field. One of the flying creatures landed into her nose. It seemingly look like a butterfly.

“Achoo!”

“I know you can do it. Sorry.”

Little Izuna tried to peek at her mother’s mana core. In short, the inside of her heart. Tons of various magic sigils appeared out of nowhere and were floating behind Izuna’s mother.

Little Izuna’s widened out of surprised. Her mind is filled with questions on how or what ways to achieve that state.

“It’s all right. After all, you can’t leave here. Just depend on me! Right, Mother Euphrasia?”

The sigils became transparent.

“I appreciate that. Also, be careful about him.”

Euphrasia then chanted her magic and transported her daughter to the human realm.

“That light… Is that the legendary nudist beach!?”

Izuna’s dream stopped mid-way because her coworker flashed her phone in front of Izuna’s eyes.

“Since then, as a Godkin offspring, I spent my time in Earth to find him…”

Izuna lays back at her office chair and rubs her eye dirt away.

“Senpai, wake up! If you sleep more, I’ll be in a great pinch!”

Izuna’s coworker gently slaps half-asleep Izuna.

“But up to this day, I still can’t find him.”

Izuna swings around her office hair using her feet.

“I know you’re being chunni, Izuna-senpai~ What’s with that nonsense while half-asleep!?”

Izuna’s coworker caught up to her and charged her foot to violently swing Izuna’s office hair.

“Awawawa~! That hurts! Agent no.2, cut it out!”

Despite recovering from that, Izuna stood up in front of her coworker as she rested her hands on her hips. Although, she still couldn’t look straight.

“At last! I’m free! It’s hard to do mine and yours at the same time, Senpai!”

“Fufufufu. You just said the word. You mean under new management.”

Izuna pulled a thumbs up. As expected, her coworker could handle her chuuni sense anymore.

“Let’s get some early dinner. It’s on me, agent no.2! Muhahahaha!!!”

Description of classroom*

As much as I love this world, I detest it. Everyone is so fixated in obtaining power and crush what they deemed as enemies— without even considering that they were also weak and had to protect something other than themselves.

Only him in classroom* blank paper*

That way of thinking only tricks the students in these totalitarian-like state of schools. Because of that, they mostly breed scums.

Walks*

Just like me. Isn’t it so tragic?

Teacher description*

[Sighs* I hope this won’t be another blank again. It’s such a waste if your abilities are wasted.]

Hands paper*

Deicide blank blank

All I wish is to see what awaits ahead— The path I’m going ahead. Because I know what true weakness really means. The overwhelming injustice of society has no part with this. The true weakness that mankind has…

Jaw dropped*

[Are you serious, Gevanni-kun!?]

“Yes, teach. Isn’t it embarrassing that we act too high when we contribute to little no benefit to those who protects us?”

Hallway description*

The disturbing part of being the weakest is that we often find shortcuts to attain our goals— Our other senses becomes numb as we lust for something. Because of that, I hate those who seek to rule the uneducated.

“Just like demons who prey on them. Especially like them.”

Classmates walked past Gevanni*

To protect yourself from this harsh reality, all you had to do is obey the rules— that way of thinking is foolish. If arrogance isn’t abused…

Wall slam*

[Gevanni, can you quietly hand over your money?]

The world won’t change for you, but you can change the world. That’s why I feel no need to be pent up. Nor any reason to run away nor fight them.

Puts Gevanni down from his shoulder*

It doesn’t mean I should just accept my fate so easily. However, I don’t consider myself doing such lofty ideals. Therefore, I won’t rant about justice and accept the victim card.

[He’s right! No one would bother. After all, you’re the infamous ghost of this academy.]

Sniffs about his normal backpack*

Litters his belongings*

[Damn! Where’s your credit card!?]

I stood in front of them while asserting my dominance with a calm composure.

“You lot are just demons.”

I’m well aware of the difference between their and my physical aspects.

[What did you just say, bastard?]

“Depending to another when you need help? Are you afraid to do it alone?”

As expected, he took my collar and raised me. He then clenches his fist—ready to punch me anytime. Only punks like him couldn’t even understand between the distinction of using your power for yourself and for others. I would like to call this “loathing your weaknesses and have to justify yourself or in other words, the entitled kid”.

“I’ll smash your head and your face over and over!”

Justifying your own nature over self-gratification. That’s what I see in their actions. These punks are hoping if they could please their boss if they did something like this to me. I couldn’t help but to sneer at him.

“Oh! Punks are dumb. That’s why they can’t read the atmosphere.”

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

[Talking like some big shot… You, nerdy freak!]

“You just proved my point. Let me ask you a question. Depending on your answer, I could let you beat me a good time.”

[Yo, stop it. That scheming half-foreigner is not worth the trouble.]

Puts Gevanni down*

That ripped man with broken arm support is the leader of them. He’s the same year as me but I made him repeat for two years…

“Gevanni, as always, your blue eyes feel so distant. That’s why you’re a ghost— you don’t see things face to face.”

I quite like that man. Instead of running away from his failures, he punishes himself. That’s why I would never see him eye to eye— it puts my actions into disgrace. How ironic, isn’t it? Perhaps, I’m a demon as well.

Both men grabbed Gevanni’s arm*

Why? It’s because failure is never my choice. That way of thinking always lead me to my own path. They deserve what they’re supposed to have— My retaliation.

“I’m a weak person. You know that already.”

Moves face to face*

[Was I that obvious? Well, I won’t. I want to graduate this time.]

“I’m not that pathetic as to believe in someone who believes in me that I can do anything.”

Steps pencil*

Catches it with mouth*

Thrusts head*

Points it to rip man eyes*

Leader brushes both punks*

“A-Aniki!”

Slaps Gevanni*

Grabs face*

“I hate your face. It boils my blood that you looked like us.”

“I thought you had enough.”

“Don’t get cocky, filthy halfie. Your little sis—”

Glares*

Why is everyone contented with their lives? Aren’t they just incapable beings to attain the future?

“Scary. Scary. Come on guys, lets hit the arcade”

Puts both hands-on pocket*

I pity whoever wants everything when they are powerless and doing nothing to achieve it. If someone could hear my wishes. Please hear me.

[Gevanni, just stick your nose where it belongs. Try going online again as the creator.]

“There’s no way I would go back to the hell I created.”

[Too bad. I haven’t seen my friend online for seven years ago.]

[Tch! Geivanni… Just go back to your country!]

Destroys tablet*

[You can never be Japanese like us!]

[See ya later, White Snow]

This is too broken… Just like them.

I don’t have friends, but I chose it to be that way. Why? Even if I had one, I just treat them as objects who had the same experiences as me. They aren’t real. They wear masks to make themselves look better.

Looks at clock*

Just like rotten people all over the world.

Opened mail in locker*

A mail specifically sent for me in school. Not directly in home?

If God is truly gracious—I hope, he could answer my selfish request. To attain the power that is enough to erase this corrupt world.

Letter of recognition* crumbles

It doesn’t matter if I have to sacrificed myself as well— to atone for my past.

throws in garbage can*

If this life where almost nothing happens continues— I have no choice but to live a quiet life. Isn’t it too sinful for me to wish such a Godly request? It would be amazing if I were to experience any irregularities.

“Guess I’ll drop by that steakhouse again.”

Or start my life again as an another being.

In this place, usually foreigners come here. It’s a safe haven for us. We can speak English to our heart’s content. Although, we prefer to mind our own business.

Spending your time alone as you reward yourself from doing hard work doesn’t seem lonely, right? Well, I don’t care. I’m used to it.

I devoured the first piece of steak medallion. When I was about to take the second one, a woman sat in front of me. Her clothes are different. It’s more businesslike. She’s not part of the staff accompanying lonely guests. If I were to guess, she’s around in her twenties or early thirties.

Almost everyone is looking funny at us. The only thing that stands the most is her seemingly real horns.

With a beauty like her, it’s hard to imagine having a body modification like that. I rarely watch television. Maybe it’s a new product like those cat-themed headphones.

“You eat a lot, don’t you?”

I might be imagining things. Maybe she’s one of those TV producers or Talent Scouts.

I didn’t bother to look at her after that. I only went to this place just to eat not to mingle and flirt with a stranger.

“I keep wondering when you’ll ever talk every time I order for refills, Gevanni-san”

“Who knows.”

It seems I attracted another creep who would try to trick me by putting this on their tab and walk with them to their place. I won’t waste my energy just for that.

“Last plate, please and thank you! Oh! It’s my treat for him. Can you kindly please put this in my tab?”

“Yes, my dear customer and regular, Estella-san.”

Just what I have thought— this is becoming sketchy or rather too cliché.

“Are you sure you’re not from another world? Your mana is overflowing.”

In that moment, I didn’t know what she is talking about. Mana? As in what you commonly see in fantasy. Nothing feels strange but what is this weird feeling? Why I feel that she’s different from us.

I quickly grabbed my phone and looked at my face— it’s normal. I gently brushed my hair the side.

Maybe I just imagined it. I thought I was transported into another world. No, maybe it already happened. It just happened that everything still looked the same.

“Excuse me! Is there something wrong with me?”

“No. Umm… Do you need something?”

The waitress putted another batch of plates and took the finished ones. That red-haired woman is such a big eater. Is her stomach a black hole? It’s best not to act rash and think things over again.

The possibility of me being transported is pretty low. If that’s the case, why in the modern era? This is so humiliating to think that a chuuni dragged to me to her pace.

“I already finished the food?”

I can’t believe I got flustered for something trivial such as this. I might be overthinking things again. It’s bad for my health.

Estella keeps on poking the edge of her mouth. I realized that there were stains from my mouth. I wiped it and continue eating.

I need to gather more information while pretending to be casual towards her. Good thing that I’m such a slow eater.

And so— I spent the time eating with her. Although, I only answered her questions with simple yes and no. This is the first time I had trouble with a woman. Normally, they would be contented if they just talked to me. Still, nothing feels out of ordinary.

[Are you a walking display?]

Estella played with her long red hair using her fingertips. I wonder why she became grumpy.

[I see. You’re his other half. I’m glad.]

I didn’t hear what she said but I know she whispered something. Estella quickly wipes the stain in my mouth. I just stared at her as she finished it.

For a moment, when someone is this close you can’t help but to check each other’s faces. She then leans back.

[You won’t believe me but I’m a Demon Lord from another world vacationing here~]

She seemed happy mentioning that. Is that even a good thing to brag? If she’s already one, I already risked myself affiliating with a Demon! Does it mean she’s after my soul?

[What a letdown. You’re quite the cold type, huh? How about I make you a Demon too!]

This stupid joke still continues, and I couldn’t let myself cough. Well, it won’t hurt me if I were to try join her pace a bit.

“That is if you can.”

“Yes! That’s our promise between us.”

I hesitated for a moment, but I accepted her pinky promise.

“It’s not like— my face is becoming red because of this embarrassment; it’s just my face is swelling from this intense tension!”

After I turned my head to the side, underneath the table, I touched the wall. It seems my currentsituation is still vague. There are no illusions involved. I’m sure this is the real world. For now.

“It’s quite fun for me to tease you a bit.”

I don’t have to question if she was being honest about that. How come, I won’t even notice that little smug of hers? It’s obvious! She’s making fun of me.

“Ahh~~ I’m so full. I might be mistaken that you impregnated me.”

Considering myself to become an idol or an actor disguised as a demon is not bad at all. Heck! Maybe it would be fun pretending to be one.

“Wait— What the hell are you even saying?”

“Don’t worry, Gevanni-san. With our powers together, we can destroy any secret organizations that is after us.”

I hope she’s doesn’t have a severe case of chuunibyou. If not, where does she get her confidence? Things will get complicated if I spent my time with her longer.

As both adults, we both know our actions. We’re supposed not to do things that troubles others. You’re just being immature.

“I admit you’re a great person. However, I’m sorry. I don’t like the way you approached me.”

With a straight face, I told her that. It’s not like I should feel being appreciated for her actions. It’s a choice she made in the first place.

“You’re being the hard-headed now? Maybe you’re a tsundere too?”

I took a card from my wallet and gave it to the waitress. It’s a handcrafted thank you card.

“As for you…”

I’ll forever brand her as Chuuni Demon. Also, it’s normal to ditch weird girls like her. She might be the “if you love my crush, I’ll kill you” type.

“Ahh~ He turned me down.”

Senpai! Don’t leave me alone!

Just go back to work or something. We’ll look suspicious if we follow him.

Ehhhh!? No way!

Things are still normal. The streets I usually don’t use when I go home— Everything is the same. But what I felt earlier, is without a doubt, real. Time completely stopped for a moment except for the both of us. What’s with that distorted image? It looked like a monster…

I sensed her presence. In that street, we were both alone. I don’t have to bat my eye to her. It’s obvious she’ll talk loudly.

“I’m going to report you to the police if you keep on following me.”

[We’re going to ask your parent’s permission first!]

“What?”

[This is hard for me you know. Someone is trying to force summon us to another world.]

“Yes, yes. Whatever you say.”

This is my home. We’re not either rich or poor. We just had an average household. This is where I can express my emotions the most. After all, I feel being free here.

I don’t think highly of my parents nor hate them. I’m not sure if they’re the best parents I’ve ever had but they all just do is gaming! A shut-in!

My father John Emenrich, a professional e-sports player who played against my mother Mayuri Takigawa through an official worldwide tournament and ended it with a draw. Since then and after I was born, they keep on dueling together.

If there’s a chance that my parents earned more money than usual, through streaming, they blow it hard. They believe pay-to-win is the best.

I lost count the times I have to cover them so that they won’t get cold and put a few bunches of cup ramens early in the morning. In return, they tidy this place as if we were waiting for visitors.

A black rose petal fell unto my hand. I grasp unto it as I looked into the gloomy sky.

Gevanni reminisced his past.

“It’s natural you’d lose. I bear the unfairness of both future and past. So, don’t cry, Geva-nii.”

“You’re such a bully.”

In reality, it’s to remember what happened that time— Where I foolishly let my sister die.

[[Hey, Eugene! Welcome home!]]

“Don’t call me like that! You, Elf Addict!”

[[Thanks for the compliment.]]

“That’s not a compliment! You, masochist!”

[You get noisy when you’re at home, huh? It’s amazing you can switch off to that personality easily.]

“Who are you even to judge me? Self-proclaimed Demon!”

“Ah! Hello there, Oka-san and Oto-san.”

[[[I’m amazed that a virgin like you could get a beauty like her home.]]]

“I’m not!”

The only thing I hate about my parents is their consistent teasing. I don’t even know how to manage myself and—

[[[Hora~ You’re blushing.]]]

Brushes mom and sat on the chair*

[[[Kyah~~]]]

Let’s talk about this seriously. Get hands of chuuni demon and go to room upstairs*

Mayuchi, do you think he got the guts to have a good harem? John*

Idiot! He’s different from us. It’s because we tried to raise him like a normie. Mayuri*

[Oh? Your room is different. Are in you in that phase?]

I live in a strict and daily routine-based schedule. That’s why I made this room specialized for that. If you think that—

Amazing… After with that babbling, there’s no ero-books. D-don’t tell me you swing that—

Facepalms*

It’s not a coincidence you found me. What is your deal, chuuni Demon!?

Sits and crosses legs*

Nothing. I thought you might get lonely and confused when we’re both being transported into another world in different times. In fact, you should be thankful that I might end up being your guide.

Stare*

Seriously? Is that it?

Also, stop calling me chuuni demon. I have a name. Don’t mispronounce it, okay?

Yes, yes, whatever you say.

I-zu-na-Es-te-lla! Got it?

Ah~! Please forgive my so unsightly behavior, Ms. Estella. You expect me to say but… No! My dear chuuni demon, Ella.

Infuriates* Don’t even call me like that!

Well? I have a lot of questions to ask but I’ll let you do all the talking.

Of course, that was a lie. There’s no way I can put common sense to a chuuni.

We are different version of demons. Our proper name is Spectators. Our job is just live with you guys for hundreds of years and leave it to our Destroyers.

An infinite loop, huh? I’m not even interested. What is the fun of watching and destroy us anytime?

Silence*

In the first place, if you were God, you could’ve done a lot if you used your powers.

Slaps*

Do you think I even wanted to be born this way!? Even if I did, there’s no way I would cheat to myself!

There’s a 75% that she’s the real thing. I didn’t realize that she was that fragile. Even my apologies won’t soothe the burn I inflicted.

Looks like she’s beating his monkey now.

At last, I got that item first!

Scuffles*

What’s this?

A burn heal. I mean a water spray. It’s really hot outside.

Removes coat*

Taps shoulders*

I can see you face to face. B-Be grateful. I’ll join with your fun.

Are you going to say that I look cute even if I’m mad?

Knocks forehead*

Don’t get ahead of yourself.

Oka-san and Oto-san.

What’s with that serious tone, Gevanni?

I’m going to accompany her for a while.

You guys won’t believe me but I’m a demon vacationing here!

I think I’m retarded for not forcing her go to the mental hospital first.

And so we spent the time listening to her story.

That’s it. Is it fine if I could borrow your son a bit?

Confused parents*

As expected, my parents are not that idiot as to believe on what she says…

Well, that’s a better way to go to another world. Plus, you have a beauty with you. I think you both could do it.

Oto-san, that’s a bad joke! Aren’t you worried about me going alone?

At least, you don’t have to risk yourself going to a dungeon and pick up your first waifu harem member.

Oka-san!

Gevanni pouts*

I’m sure you’ll even find another way to powerup because the power of friendship doesn’t suit you.

Hey, can you bring me some manly elves?

Estella laughs*

I’m glad you have this family, Gevanni-san. They’re good people.

Your flattery is obvious, and it sucks.

Release suppression. Engage limiter removing. Initiate transform sequence. Outer wall of protectionfrom negativity. Complete neutralization from outer damage below tier 4. Minimal auto-recovery. Secured gate of parallax. Forced attribute sharing. Mana barrier release.

Oh God! She’s taking this in another level. She has major chuunibyou syndrome!

Activate!

Both Estella and Gevanni vanished*

Woah!? Was that for real? Magic? Oto-san reaction*

I thought Gevanni brought another weird friend.

Just let him do the Isekai thing. It’s going to be alright.
